mlmiller1 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Denise, I have a couple of question so I'll just put them here to show my ignorance, I suppose. I have a cart with gun holders but the guns are muzzle down. Your rules say guns must be carried muzzle up. Is this ok or do I have to leave them off the cart? Also, it says the long guns are carried action open. My shotgun bolt closes really easily. If it is slung, or in the box, or on the cart, it takes the least little bump to drop the bolt. Can I use a chamber flag in place of bolt open? You can close the gun case & hear the bolt drop sometimes. Very not cool. The sound of the bolt closing on a shotgun that you can't see is very intimidating. Anyway, I'm sure looking forward to your match. Thanks for answering sorta dumb questions.

Benelli Chick Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 MLM, Carrying muzzle up is while in hand. Your cart will be fine. A chamber flag will be just fine! We just want it to be clear your gun is empty! Any other questions, just let me know! We could use a few more shooters. Sign up soon! It really should be a fun match, lots of choices. JJ and I have some fun ideas. We're thinking of having a blind stage to add some zip! We've got some good sponsors and we should have more to give away in the raffles this year, and I think the shooter's bags will be worth the entry! Join us! Pueblo is pretty nice in June! Thanks to Sabre and all our sponsors! We're very excited! If anyone wants to join them, let us know! Contact us at: johnson3gun@earthlink.net See ya' in June!!

mlmiller1 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Denise, Thanks for your answers. I assumed that would be the case but rules are rules & I try to play in the rules. If you don't have much experience(like me) you gotta ask questions. It sure seems a blind stage is just asking folks to try to help their friends. If you shoot it, you know it, you tell it. Hard not to. Does that make sense? Obviously it is your match. Do what you think is best. Jason, By the way, the answer is 48, not 42!!!! hahahaha. Can hardly wait. We are setting up side matches with our pistol matches every month just so I can get some practice with this stuff! MLM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benelli Chick Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Hey everyone! Just a quick update! We've got a number of shooters. It's going better than last year, but we could still use some more. We're also looking for RO's...and you only think that MGM pays little. RO's get a free match that they can shoot on June 20. They get a FREE t-shirt. They get to work really hard for 2 days. They get free lunches while they're at the range. If you're interested, contact us at johnson3gun@earthlink.net But, now for the good news! Our sponsors are going really well so far! Sabre Defense is our major match sponsor. We've got Nordic Components, DPMS, Flash Target, R&R Racing and Dillon all returning! Thanks so much for your support. We are also excited to have a number of new sponsors already!! Welcome to Brownell's, LaRue, Magpul, Point Blank, Truck Vault and Redding! Also...in the midst of all their work for their own match, MGM has generously offered to sponsor us as well! What a great bunch of people! Please support them all as much as possible, because they really do support us! I've seen so many of these sponsors at SOOO many matches! I love generous sponsors! Any one else want to join them? Let us know! By the way, we've got over $10,000 in prizes already including at least two rifles and MGM targets to be given away in the random drawings! I think it will be a fun match! JJ's got great designs for our stages, and we've ordered up good weather again! Send in your apps soon! We hope to see you in June!

mlmiller1 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Denise, How are the entries coming? Hope the match fills up so there are more people to laugh at me as I(try to) shoot. I love a big crowd! I heard there is a big car show or something going on the same weekend so I went ahead & got my hotel rooms booked. See you guys in June!

J-Ho Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I'm really looking forward to this match again! Great fun last year. I just can't figure out why Jim says we need a brain for this match. (heavy sarcasm) Please, Jim, tell me you haven't ruined that beautiful looking receiver by sticking a pink stock on it! Jim, also be prepared for 4 year old like, constant asking "When are the Firebirds going to be ready? Huh? Huh? When are the Firebirds going to be ready?" I'm really looking forward to meeting BEnos forum members face to face. How many folks from here on the forums are going to be there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlmiller1 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Denise, You say early registration starts at 4pm on Friday, how late will you be there? I'm not sure what time I'll get there but I would like to register Friday evening, if possible. Plus, I'd like to take a look around a bit. Thanks, MLM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benelli Chick Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 The plan is to have registration done by 7pm, but I'll be around. The RO's will be shooting that day, but you can certainly look around and get an idea of ways to make me laugh! You can't miss me, I'll be the old lady running around like a chicken with her head cut off! Look forward to seeing you all! We'll get you all registered when you get there! See you soon!
